Dune Part 2 took over the box office and cinema discourse this year and for good reason. It's a sci-fi epic, not just in its visuals and scope, but also in its story-telling, characters, and especially its themes. Nate & Drew dive into the deeper ideas that the movie wrestles with, from colonialism, religion, messiah figures, and free will, to how the film interacts with real Christianity, some of the complications of the themes the movie is trying to promote, and what the movie gets us to think about life in general. This is just the beginning of Nate & Drew diving into this movie. There is a mountain of interesting ideas to dig through. Join us as we begin this journey! #dune #freewill #religion #savior

TikTok is getting banned? Is that good? How has social media and short-form content shaped our society? Are algorithms good or bad? There's a lot of opinions on technology and social media these days. It's either evil or the best thing ever. But should the discussion be more nuanced than that? Our friend Dapo shares his experience growing up as part of Generation Z, being a digital native, and his experience with technology and social media. He shares stories of what it's like for an app to know you better than yourself, recognizing an addiction to TikTok, how social media has shaped him and his peers, as well as how all this technology can be potentially redeemed.

While Puss in Boots sounds like a fun animated kids movie, it actually dives deep into dark territory. Plenty of people have commented on the brilliance of it as a movie, and it's depiction of the character of Death, but what the movie is presenting is actually a profound picture of how people relate to death and gets us to ask many questions. Do we all laugh at the face of death? Is it worth chasing after our desires if we end up alone? What is worth fighting for in this life? What does any of this have to do with Jesus?

Pixar's Soul is a heartwarming and endearing movie in its own right. But what if we dig a little deeper? Does Soul suggest something about heaven? It can't be all a bunch of blue people right? What does CS Lewis have to do with a Pixar movie? Can we find our purpose in life like in Soul? All that in more as Nate & Drew dive into this movie!

We've all experienced it. See an old image, hear a song, smell a fragrance, and suddenly you feel like you're 5 again. You know exactly where you experienced that when you were young. And you have the same giddy excitement and joy as you did as a child, at least for a moment. Nostalgia we call it. But what exactly is this bizarre experience? Why do we have it? What triggers it? Why do our memories seem so much better than reality? Join us as we just barely start to cook up this concept and share some of our favorite memories! New episodes drop every Monday @ 11 AM Pacific
